I use techniques from lamaze: focal points...that aren't ANY parts of my body. :laugh:

Jeannie- already decided can't do that in the daylight again :laugh: - at this age, let alone 10 years from now.

Sara- focal points. None of which are on me. I'll remember it. I didn't even have in my contacts. Imagine if i could have REALLY seen it! OMG.

Yes, blindness IS a bonus in that situation! I always make sure to have my contacts out as well. :laugh: Perhaps sunglasses? :glasses:

Darkness is the best bet. Total darkness.

The worst part is that I really thought my belly was coming along. Then I saw it like that. EEEKKKK. I had NO idea. I already knew the bewbs were hopeless, now I have a belly complex too.

My belly is worse than my bewbs. (Marla should be popping in any time now to smack me upside the head for this...). My 9lb9oz child was superman-ing it for most of his pregnancy & my belly got waaaaaayyyy stretched out. Standing up, it looks okay, just a little raisin-esque. In the...ahem...scrubbing the floor position...it's much scarier. :noway: I feel your pain, Lori, I reaaalllly do. *ducks from Marla's swinging*

72lori

Yep. Gotta love the bewbs. Or not. :grumble:

It's all good clothed. My dress Friday night was pretty low cut and I had on a good bra, thing were lookin' good. I felt hot. Then the 'morning after incident' occured. Self esteem up one night... self esteem in the toilet the next morning. :laugh:

I was lucky with the belly. Went right back to normal after all 3 kids. But I have kept on the extra 50 for 10 years, that and collegen depletion may keep it from going back this time.

Of course I am almost 50 and married............so dang who cares for me.:blushing:

I just want to wear a tankini and let my belly peek out...:blushing:

arewethereyet

I remember my dh doing this:noway: and this :grumble: when I said no because I was embarresed after one of the kids. He said he really didnt notice that stuff.........the fact that I said YES was the most important thing:laugh:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

My belly is scary enough when I am on all fours, and I have no excuse! I fear for what I will look like after kids. At least it's not scary when I lay flat or stand up. Maybe I just should stop wearing huge t-shirts when I work out so I can't see down them. If I can't see it, it's not there.

Yes. Bewbs. I'd love to see a pic of your dress! I bet you looked awesome! I'd be naked all the time if my house was free of mirrors & windows & all surfaces reflective.:bigsmile:

***I had a little soapbox thing here all typed out, but decided against it for now. I'm not going to defile the black team thread with my blah blah blahing***

Censorship is overrated.

Yup, hadn't looked at the belly in the scrubbing floor position, hence the fright. My bewbs have always been large, then 2 babies, still large bewbs, so now the best way to describe them is deflated. They aren't small but from being big for so long there is extrra. Extra skin I guess. Laying down. Oh my. Another fright. If I lay with my arms crossed across my belly it's not so bad cause it pushes it all up and it's alright, but who can lay like that forever?

Girl, you've come so far, I bet you look so much more awesome than you're giving yourself credit for! Down with the huge shirts! :drinker:

I am totally sure you can pull off a tankini now. What are you waiting for?

I'm also married and pushing 40 but I still care about how I look. Even if my man is happy as can be with it all (and he is). Even the guys I lift with at the gym look at me like I'm nuts when I mention the stuff I don't like (hence they only see it clothed). It's us women. We do it to our selves.

Thanks lady..you're so sweet!

I feel pretty awesome when I look in the mirror, but those flashes scare me LOL. I do need to get some new workout clothes because everything is huge. Still have one pair of sweats from 5 years and all 100 pounds ago, so it's time to purge the baggy clothes demon!

Sara beat me to it. I was just going to say enough with the big shirts too. I only wear exercise tanks for 2 reasons. #1 they dont' get in my way. #2 they don't make me so hot! A workout is so much better without all that excess material hanging on you. Trust me. Try it.

When I work out in big shirts (especially running) I feel like I'm swimming in a laundry basket. I'm learning to love the spandex tanks with the "shelf bra"! :drinker:

Hoo-raa for shelf bras and spandex tanks! (Except for the excess stuff that hangs out the back over my 2 sports bras....:grumble: ) :laugh: It's all good though. Most women at my gym have that stuff hanging out their shirts too. Even the young ones. When I mentioned it to the guys that workout when I do they looked at me and said it was 'supposed' to be like that. Uhhh, yeah... ok. We'll go with it. Glad most men aren't looking for those Playboy bunnies. :laugh: Nothing wrong with a little back flubber.

We better not catch wind of you leaving your house in 100 pound ago sweats. We'll all be there to beat you down. Treat yourself better than that. You worked too hard to hide it under layers of too big clothes, working out or not. You are worth it. Flaunt what you've got!
